Friday Favorites!

Hope everyone had a great week! Looks like the weekend here in Nash is going to be a scorcher. 90's temp all weekend. guess that means early morning and late evening runs!

Week 3 of training is going pretty well (my week ends on Sunday). I'm going to do a 3 mile run tonight ( when it cools down) and then a 4 mi on Sunday. I'm excited to finally be getting in some longer (ish) runs on my training. I feel like i honestly don't get warmed-up/in the zone until mile 3, so these 2 and 2.5 mi runs have not been very fun for me. But they say slow and steady wins the race right? or at least the training race. :)

Looks like I've started to break the plateau! I don't want to jinx it, but I've seen some changes this week! Hopefully this will keep up for a few more weeks? Please?

Ok so here they are! This week's Friday Favorites:

1. Think Thin Bars
The Chunky Peanut Butter one is my fav. I swear it taste exactly like a Reece's cup. no lie.
I like these bars because they have NO sugar in them and are high in protein ( about 20g!). They really fill you up....promise. They usually run around 6 WW pts if you do that. They have TONS of flavors, but I've only tried the peanut butter, brownie crunch, and chocolate fudge.



2. Champion Women's Sleeveless Athletic Top from Target.




I currently have about 3 of these in my closet and love them! You know those super tight workout tanks that ride up the minute you move?...ya these AREN't those! I always have trouble finding work-out tops for the summer because I like something that I don't have to pull down every 5 seconds. I have finally found it! These are def. going to be my go-to work out tops for those hot running days. I think they are like $12.99 at Target too? steal.

3. Mio Liquid Water Enhancer





it's like Crystal lite...but not! totally zero down the whole nutritional facts and makes drinking those 8 glasses of water easier! They have all sorts of flavors...I've only tried the strawberry watermelon and sweet tea ones though. Super small and easy to throw in your purse or desk at work! I drink it in the afternoon to change it up a bit! I also don't think it has that " weird after taste" that some artificial water enhancers have.
